In summary

The ISNE international training course aims at promoting knowledge in the field of nuclear sciences. It breaks down into two distinct parts: the "Thermal-hydraulics of light water reactors (LWR)",
and "Modelling and multi-phase phenomenology of severe accidents in LWRs ".

Who should take this course ?

The doctoral course is designed for young researchers, PhD students, post-doctorates and engineers from nuclear industry companies, research centres, Universities, Technical Safety Organizations (TSO), regulatory bodies.
